Check out the "Black Blogging Rockstars" Panel Image!
By BWA Staff
Very soon, we will be launching the Black Blogging Rockstars website, where you can read quotes from some of the best Black bloggers in the world answering the question “What does it take to be a Black blogging rockstar?” We will be using these quotes in our panel as well, which takes place on March 12 at 3:30pm CST.
In the meantime, have a look at our panel image, which will be used during SXSW to represent our panel. This will also be available on the SXSW Play iPhone app by Pepsi! We used the names of Black Weblog Award winners and other influential voices in the Black blogosphere to pay homage to their work. Download the hi-res version after the jump!

Happy new year! We just got word from SXSW on the date and time for our panel “Black Blogging Rockstars”! Here’s a synopsis:
Past SXSW panels have shown that Black bloggers and bloggers of color are becoming more prominent and well-known as the years progress. From “Blogging While Black” to being “Digital Urbanites”, being a Black blogger is definitely not limited to any monolithic stereotype. Learn from some of the pioneers and thought-leaders in the Black blogosphere on our past, present, and future.
Our panel will be on at the Austin Convention Center at SXSW on March 12 at 3:30pm Central. We’ll be announcing the panelists soon!
